Robbie takes the points and the lead

Robbie Blake - back in front
Robbie simply stormed away with the man of the match in the site's voting poll. He claimed just short of half of the vote with 49.8% and but for the performance of Alan Mahon it would surely have been even higher.

That gave him the three points whilst Mahon collected two points having taken a 23.1% share of the vote. We were down into single figures for third place and the single point went to John Spicer, who came on as a substitute for the injured Michael Duff. Spicer took 7.1% of the vote.

There was no difference in the player ratings on the message board, with the points being awarded to the same three players. All of them had an average rating over 7 with Robbie leading the way with 7.40. Mahon was second with 7.13 and Spicer third with 7.10.

That means it is six points for Blake, four for Mahon and two for Spicer (his first points of the season) and Blake's points take him back to the top of the table ahead of central defender Clarke Carlisle who had gone top after the draw at Bristol City a week earlier.

Voting is now ongoing for the Ipswich match and will end at midnight tomorrow.

The current totals are;

24: Robbie Blake
22: Clarke Carlisle
12: Andy Gray, Brian Jensen & Alan Mahon
11: Steven Caldwell
9: Kyle Lafferty
6: David Unsworth
5: Gabor Kiraly & Chris McCann
3: Michael Duff
2: John Spicer & Wayne Thomas
1: Stephen Jordan
